You don't want evidence, you want someone important to say convincing evidence exists. One is factual and scientific, the other is authoritarian. There are decades of evidence of sightings and encounters, collected by government and military agencies in multiple countries. It's nonsense to claim no evidence of anomalies exists when that's just not factually correct. Evidence of what is a different question. But the scientific approach starts with "That's interesting and unexpected" and develops from there. Not from "I can't imagine this is happening and it makes me anxious, so I'll just pretend there's nothing real to worry about."

There are decades of evidence of sightings and encounters, collected by government and military agencies in multiple countries. No, I want concrete evidence, not eyewitness testimony from pilots, ‘whistleblowers’ who report secondhand accounts of witnesses, videos, and sensor data. None of those things are concrete evidence of alien spacecraft visiting earth. There certainly are a lot of aerial anomalies, which makes sense as many nation states are flying all kinds of things all over the world and our vision, cameras and sensors are all fallible. > It's nonsense to claim no evidence of anomalies exists when that's just not factually correct. I am saying I don’t believe any of the alleged sightings are real alien spacecraft, not that there aren’t reports of anomalous aircraft. > Not from "I can't imagine this is happening and it makes me anxious, so I'll just pretend there's nothing real to worry about." I’m not anxious about aliens existing, I think the discovery of alien life would be the most exciting thing that has happened in human history. I’d be glad to be alive for that, regardless of the outcome. I just don’t think it’s happened yet.
